Elites

Ning taught the two about the summoning circle's symbols for a while before taking a break. "We should go slowly. You don't need to learn everything in a single day, right?" 

"Yes, yes," the old woman nodded. "Alright, go do what you want. I will learn these numbers."

Ning nodded and walked out and so did Tessa. 

"Thank you for giving us that information for free. You could have had us buy it, and we would've, but you didn't," she said.

"Oh, I didn't even think about that," Ning said for a second before turning to look at the horrified face of Tessa who had realized that she screwed up.

"Haha, don't worry. I don't want money," he said and entered the actual library.

He looked around, wondering what he should do now when he noticed one other student wearing a gold star on their clothes, just like Tessa was.

"By the way, what's that gold star about? Is that a fashion choice, or is there more to it?" he asked.
